perfectly clear recol lection of all that transpired while she ceased to live this is what she said about it everything was black at first i did not seem to have any consciousness then gradually i began to move or rather glide through space faster and faster i went over interminable distances i was not conscious of seeing objects pass by as one does on a train but just moving ou and on it was the most pleasant motion 1 have ever experienced there was no sensation of time either so i can't say how long this seemed to continue after a while a region of brightness and | light appeared in

that might be called land they just seemed to move to and fro at will.i mrs mcnulty is a church member but iu no sense a religious fanatic and has nei^er been given to illusions or visions dr mulligan states that her mind is per fectly clear and that she will in time re cover her health when i was called in he said to-day mrs mcnulty was appareutly lifeless it was not a trance she was iu but a
